All instructions in this manual must be followed to ensure safe installation and operation of the product. 56

The components of the product should be installed in a place where they can not fall or move and damage the vehicle or hinder driving. NEVER dismantle or re-assemble the products. This could cause damage and make them unsafe to use. Tampering with the products renders the limited warranty ineffective. Before installation, please make sure that the engine is switched off and the vehicle is stationary. Due to possible injury from contact with a hot engine or exhaust pipe, do not begin installation until the vehicle is cool. Prior to installation, remove the ignition key and disconnect the negative ( - ) battery terminal. Please take care while installing this product so you do not interfere with any connections or wires relating to seat belts, air bags or other safety devices. Before tapping engine rev or speed signal from the ECU, please make sure that you have connected power cables inside "DC Source" harness properly. And then confirm that the Defi-Link Control Unit and the Defi-Link Meters will perform opening/ending function normally. If it is functioning normally, remove negative terminal connector from battery and go ahead with wiring procedure. NOTE: Incorrect wiring may destroy your ECU, Ignition system, and other engine management devices. When attaching wiring, use the solderless connectors or inner/outer connections, and insulate all connections with electrical tape. Please insulate all connections in areas where wires will be tight. While wiring power harness, to avoid the risk of electrical shock or fire, be sure to confirm that there is no disconnection or breakage of wire. Poor connection can result in short-circuit, electrical shock, fire, or other hazards. Ignition-switched +12V (IGN) line must be connected to the vehicle's Ignition-switched wire with a fuse of 30A or less. High-capacity fuse 57

(more than 30A) will not blowout even with an abnormal current flow and may cause fire.

CAUTION
This product is for use ONLY on vehicles with a 12V electrical system. NEVER use the product on 24V vehicles. Use only the wires provided. If additional wires are required, use the same of quality and gauge wire as is provided with the kit. Insulate any unused wires. If any wires or connectors loosen during installation, please make sure they are correctly reattached. Dropping any of the components of this product will result in damage to the product. Excessive force on switches/terminals may result in damage to the product. Do not attach wires on the body of the vehicle or engine parts as this may result in damage to the product. Install sensors away from heat and moisture to avoid damage. Do not pull away the wire. Install sensors away from ignition and also radio signal frequency interference as this could cause the gauges to malfunction. Do not wire the sensor wires near the engine, exhaust pipe or turbine. It may result in damage or fusion of wires. Do not expose control unit to moisture, dust or direct sunlight, or place product directly in front of heat vents. Make sure the waterproof processing is done when diverging wires in the engine compartment. Wear gloves so as not to get burnt when soldering. If the negative battery terminal is disconnected, audio and clock memory data may be lost. The necessary data will have to be re-set after installation.

58

CONFIRMATION
Gauge pointer may not be in the proper position when you purchase. Normal function will resume when power is connected. Please read pages for the customer as well as the pages for the installation personnel in order to have a full understanding of all the procedures. Please confirm with the maintenance book on the car that the manufacturer issued when installing and detaching genuine parts. After installation is complete, return this operations manual to the customer along with the warranty. Before tapping wires, check the voltage of the existing wire. After tapping the wire, check the voltage of the tapped wire again to confirm whether you have tapped into the proper place.

Daisy Chain Connection a)Multiple Interface System Uses only one wire to send power, light, ground, and data to and from all seven gauges. All gauges and the Control Unit have separate microcomputer units. b)Easy installation Installing additional gauges involves simply connecting them to the installed gauge and wiring the sensor to the Control Unit . c)Easy operation Gauges that are out of reach can be controlled by using the Control Unit at hand. It is possible to connect up to seven gauges to one Control Unit . Using only one switch, it is possible to display memory replay, peak memory and warning set values for all gauges. d)Low cost It is not necessary to purchase additional control units when installing additional gauges. Daisy Chain connection cannot be applied to connection between Defi- Link Meter BFs and Defi-Link Meters. Common features of Defi-Link Meter BF and Defi-Link Meter 1.Stepping Motor a)Quick response Gauge pointers driven by stepping motor have a smooth instantaneous response to rapid acceleration of high performance vehicles. b)High precision and light weight Maximum angle of deflective, 270 is controlled by the microcomputer up to 2,300 times(0.12 ) to provide high precision in the accuracy of information generated. Compared to similar products from other companies, this product is 30% lighter. c) Freedom of installation There is nodumping of oil . The meter can be installed at any angle. 2.Multiple functions a)When the ignition is turned on, "opening mode" automatically begins. When the engine is started, all LED indicators light and all gauge pointers move. The gauges perform a self-test.
